#computer science #teachers: in case there was any doubt, @scratch isn't just for #CodeNewbie pupils! For brilliant tutorials that produce exciting projects that will challenge GCSE & beyond, may I introduce @griffpatch who I've just discovered on YouTube!
Never come across #GeometryDash before. Can see it's going to be very popular. Thanks @griffpatch1 .
My class are absolutely OBSESSED with this #GeometryDash game on @Scratch Rather than get annoyed by it, I jumped on it with the @MakeyMakey kits. We had a go at making simple controllers to play it Card and split pins are all you need for discussions on ergonomics & aesthetic!

I've been teaching myself character animation for upcoming Scratch videos. Here's my first attempt of rigging and animating a character. (This will be a longer video where I explain how to move a character in Scratch.) Super rough, but I'm quite proud :)
